据美国《新闻周刊》报道，社交平台脸书的创始人扎克伯格日前被《新共和》（The New Republic）刊物评为“年度恶人”，理由是他创建了“世界上最糟糕、最具破坏性的网站”。
10 月，Facebook 创始人马克·扎克伯格宣布，他的公司将更名为 Meta，我认为是为了扩大其雄心壮志。元宇宙包括成为一个虚拟现实社区，其中人们可能会工作、玩耍、消费和生活。“我相信元宇宙是互联网的下一章，”扎克伯格在宣布这一消息时说，“这也是我们公司的下一个篇章”。
值得一提的是，马克·扎克伯格所设想的元宇宙并不是一个非常吸引人的想法，部分原因是扎克伯格本人在解释它。扎克伯格在一场冗长且令人生厌的演讲中提出的概念似乎完全不知道人们在非虚拟生活中真正想做什么，更不用说在虚拟生活中了。
正如约翰赫尔曼在《 纽约时报》中所指出的，对这项努力持怀疑态度的原因并不是人们不想做扎克伯格用紧张的惊奇和奇思妙想谈论的部分或全部内容。无论是投机加密货币还是使用 VR 耳机玩游戏，或者只是打卡进入虚拟工作场所，人们绝对已经在做所有这些事情，尽管有时比其他人更快乐。这甚至不是为什么有人会将未来的设计和实施委托给 Facebook 的问题，Facebook 在许多明显和不可避免的方面使世界变得无限愚蠢、丑陋和更糟，并且是一个悲惨的网站，用来开机。不过这是一个很好的问题，只是因为很难想象有人选择在网站内工作和生活，让他们的祖父母相信疾病的细菌理论是一个骗局。 但真正令人恼火的是，这并不重要。这种对未来的憧憬是枯燥乏味的、枯燥乏味的，这并不重要；那些从平台上致富的自鸣得意的白痴们也被这种新的去中心化运动抛弃了领导所谓的继任者运动也无关紧要。这种超越 Facebook 所玷污的世界并创建一个新的虚拟世界的努力可以从某种意义上说是对 10,000 页Facebook 论文泄露的回应，这表明扎克伯格自己的犯罪冷漠程度和 Facebook 无法警察自身的扩张使该网站成为世界各国的恶性转移力量。
用户数量增加了，但Facebook和扎克伯格试图用他们的metaverse计划来争取的人--一般来说是年轻人，但主要是那些对Facebook的高耸和霸道的不冷静没有什么用的难以捉摸的创造者--知道Facebook是什么。他们知道扎克伯格的metaverse只是一个商场形状的监狱，所有的人都会在其中徘徊，同时被广告、诽谤和愚蠢的、华丽的谎言所困扰。在一个像我们这样运作不良且不负责任的国家，即使是像扎克伯格这样的小人物和欺诈性巨头也会显得永久性的；这是公民们更广泛的服务条款的一部分，每到这个时候，他们失败的累积后果就像令人不快的泥石流一样向我们冲来。从这个角度来看，在经历了这一切之后，我们不可能认为马克-扎克伯格邀请我们加入他的第二宇宙只是一种嘲弄。看看他对这个世界做了什么！
Shocked！Zuckerberg is TNR's 2021 villain of the year
According to Newsweek, Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder, was recently named "Villain of the Year" by The New Republic publication for creating "the world's worst, most destructive website ".
In October, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced that his company would be renamed Meta, I think to expand on its ambitions. The Meta universe includes becoming a virtual reality community in which people may work, play, consume and live. "I believe the meta-universe is the next chapter of the Internet," Zuckerberg said in making the announcement, "and it's the next chapter of our company."
it is worth mentioning that the metaverse as Mark Zuckerberg envisions it is just not a very appealing idea, and only partially because it is Zuckerberg himself explaining it. The concept that Zuckerberg laid out in a protracted and pyrotechnically cringy presentation seems so thoroughly innocent of any idea of what people actually want to do in their nonvirtual lives, let alone in their virtual ones.
As John Herrman noted in The New York Times, the reason to be skeptical about this endeavor is not that people don’t want to do some or all of the stuff that Zuckerberg talks about in strained tones of wonder and whimsy. Whether in terms of speculating on cryptocurrencies or gaming with a V.R. headset or just clocking into a virtual workplace, people are absolutely already doing all those things, albeit sometimes more happily than others. It is not even the question of why anyone would entrust the design and implementation of the future to Facebook, which has made the world infinitely dumber, uglier, and worse in a number of obvious and inescapable ways, and is a miserable website to use to boot. That is a really good question, though, if only because it is just extremely difficult to imagine someone choosing to work and live inside the website that convinced their grandparents that the germ theory of disease was a hoax. But what really rankles is that it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter that this vision of the future is extractive, joyless, and dull; that the smug cretins who got rich off the platforms that this new decentralized movement is supposedly leaving behind are also leading the supposed successor movement doesn’t matter either. This push to transcend the world that Facebook has befouled and create a new, virtual one can be read in a sense as a response to the 10,000-page Facebook Papers leak, which demonstrated both the extent to which Zuckerberg’s own criminal indifference and Facebook’s inability to police its own sprawl have made the site a malignant metastatic force in countries around the world.
User numbers go up, but the people that Facebook and Zuckerberg are trying to court with their metaverse initiative—younger people in general, but primarily the elusive creator who has little use for Facebook’s towering and overbearing uncoolness—know what Facebook is. They know that Zuckerberg’s metaverse is just a mall-shaped prison through which all of humanity would wander while being pelted with advertisements, slurs, and dumb, garish lies. In a nation functioning as poorly and unaccountably as ours, even petty and fraudulent titans like Zuckerberg can come to seem permanent; it is part of the citizenry’s broader terms of service that every now and then the accumulated consequences of their failures simply come rushing downhill at us like an unpleasantly fragrant mudslide. From that vantage point, after all this, it is impossible to perceive Mark Zuckerberg’s invitation to join him in a second universe as anything but a taunt. Look what he’s done to this one.
